<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>DH_size, DH_bits, DH_security_bits - get Diffie-Hellman prime size and security bits</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>#include &lt;openssl/dh.h&gt;

int DH_size(const DH *dh);

int DH_bits(const DH *dh);

int DH_security_bits(const DH *dh);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>DH_size() returns the Diffie-Hellman prime size in bytes. It can be used to determine how much memory must be allocated for the shared secret computed by <a href="../man3/DH_compute_key.html">DH_compute_key(3)</a>.</p>

<p>DH_bits() returns the number of significant bits.</p>

<p><b>dh</b> and <b>dh-&gt;p</b> must not be <b>NULL</b>.</p>

<p>DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits of the given <b>dh</b> key. See <a href="../man3/BN_security_bits.html">BN_security_bits(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>DH_size() returns the prime size of Diffie-Hellman in bytes.</p>

<p>DH_bits() returns the number of bits in the key.</p>

<p>DH_security_bits() returns the number of security bits.</p>

<p>The DH_bits() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.</p>
